After Jeremy Hellickson gave up four home runs in the first two innings, an Orioles win seemed most unlikely. And when they drew closer with three homers of their own, the right-hander gave up a fifth home run to make the task that much more difficult.
But, Manny Machado had other ideas. After a dismal first three months of the season, the Orioles’ star third baseman has been on a tear the past six weeks, and he capped it with a three-home run night and a game-ending grand slam.
Machado's seven RBIs and his game-winning slam gave the Orioles a thrilling 9-7 win over the Los Angeles Angels before 26,185 at Oriole Park Aug. 18.
